Aging In Curious Places

As I age in place into awareness of replaceability I bow to humbling curiosity, Whether more anxious or anticipating, I remain conflicted About predicting a win/win global healthy climate sustainable outcome In which my own anthroprivileged species grows in ecological curiosity and theological humility Enough for winning healthy Earth restoring justice, inclusive or exclusive? of us. A peaceful paradise of curious promise for resiliently wealthy multicultural ecofeminists of all seeing/hearing EarthMother species AND our leftbrain dominant StraightWhiteMale capital growing fragile and increasingly wounded Allies Or will this Great Green Transition end and recycle back again a healthier peace and justice Earth devoid of inhumane predative overpopulated rabid hetero-unsapient pests? While this winEarth/loseAnthros heart-stopping vision fails to mention all the further kinship species we have already helped exterminate and will continue to take out with us, Still stunned shunned I remain quietly hopeful that a seventh great extinction might never come to be before Second Comings Of Edenic Civility bereft of straight either/or lined leftbrain dominant distractions Extractions from right interdependent circling spiraling feeling abundant historical multicultural traction for healthy democratic energy empowering flow and enlightened nature/spirit MultiSpecies Worshipping polyculturing sensory resonant pleasures of resilient health wealthy climate paradise Recovering old aging wonder, humbling and still actively curious how EarthMother healthy ends And rebegins re-ligions wealthily ever after with Yang empowering Yintegral enlightening balance, Either both/and way, humane-divine hybrid consciousness of merely sublime natural sensory aware animating spirits, Breaths of incoming outgoing life as love regeneratively prevails. And yet I cannot resist some attachment, as I limp toward my own ego-recentering ultra-nonviolet compassioning horizon, Rooting for this new global age of Green Cooperative EcoNonPaternal-Privileged already leading our nonviolent communion toward a resiliently restorative EarthJustice Way, A curious winning for AnthroTribe also winning Earth GreenPeace to health/wealth new deal Thrive.

I tried to follow your trail, Gerald, but I have to admit that I got lost sometimes. Interesting, to say the least!

This piece begins with a question: Can I imagine that homosapiens are an aging species about to extinguish ourselves through lack of bicameral indigenous wisdom, AND yet feel actively hopeful for the future of a healthy and beautiful living, loving Earth? Can I let go of my own attachment to Earth as primarily a habitat for humans?
